For those of you who live on mars TLOTR:TFOTR is a fantasy film about a ring that belonged to a dark lord named Sauron who was defeated by Ilsildor who took the ring but was killed by Orks. The ring was found by Gollem who lost it to a hobbit named Bilbo Baggins ( Holme). Bilbo has now given the ring to his nephew Frodo (Wood) but Sauron has returned and wants his ring back because it is a magic ring. So the wizard Gandalph (Mckellen) sends Frodo and his trusty friend Sam (Austin) to rivendale (that's probably not how you spell it) to find out what to do with the ring. Gandalph goes to his master, Saruman (Lee), but he has turned evil while Frodo and Sam are helped by two other hobbits named pippen (Boyd) and Merry (Monaghen) and the heir to the kingdom Aragorn (Mortensen). Frodo is injured by the evil Ringraiths and is helped by the elf Arwen (Tyler) who is Aragorns girlfriend. Thet reach Rivendale and meet Elrond (Weaving) who is Arwen's father and lord of Rivendale. He sends Frodo, Sam, Merry, Pippen, Aragorn and Gandalph to destroy the ring with the help of an elf named Legolas (Bloom), A dwarf named Gimli (Rhys-Davies) and the son to the steward of Aragorn's kingdom Boromir (Bean). They have to overcome even worse fears here such as a balrog and Saruman's Orks but they meet some nice elves such as Galadriel (Blanchett) so it's not all bad.

As complicated as the plot is, it is still one of the greatest films of all time and if you have not seen it you must see it right now. It is my second Favorite film of all time after Inception and is the most famous fantasy film ever. The acting is much better than it is in star wars and the scale of the film is just epic.

***** Brilliant
